Chapter 69: Back to the Starting Poin (1/2)
Soon after leaving Yu Tong, Nie Tian felt warm currents being gradually surging out from his stomach. Yet, he had only consumed several kilograms worth of dried meat from Yu Tong’s leather pouch!
“Wow, such strong surges of power! This must be second grade spirit beast meat!”
Only the meat of a second grade spirit beast would be able to produce such copious amounts of energy. Perhaps, this second grade spirit beast was even more formidable than the Lurker Lizard!”
He suddenly came to a realization.
When they first arrived in the Green Illusion dimension, there had been four second grade spirit beasts. The Frost Python had been the most powerful, and had recently reached the third grade, whereupon it teleported out of the dimension.
As for the rest of them, the Lurker Lizard had already been slaughtered by Jiang Lingzhu’s group, and Zheng Bin’s group had probably killed another one in the volcano area.
If he guessed right, the dried meat inside Yu Tong’s leather pouch should be from the last of the second grade spirit beasts.
At that moment, currents of warmth started to disperse to every corner of Nie Tian’s body. Under the nourishment and replenishment of the energy, his exhausted body rapidly recovered.
Since he had been marching on at a fast pace, he didn’t have a chance to sit down and quietly channel the energy into his spiritual sea.
However, the energy that had dissipated into his blood and muscles filled him with vigor to the point where he no longer felt the heaviness in his steps.
He knew very well that once Yu Tong recovered the ability to move, she would hunt him down at all costs. Therefore, he didn’t dare to stop and replenish his dried up spiritual sea with spirit stones.
Every once in awhile, he would take out the map he had obtained from Yuan Feng, set a direction, and rush forward, regardless of anything else.
He had already given up on heading towards the border between the desert and volcano area to meet An Ying, Jiang Lingzhu, and the others. He only wished to return to the entrance of the Green Illusion dimension.
He knew that it was very possible that the disciples of the Ghost sect and Blood sect were still frantically chasing and killing survivors from the Cloudsoaring sect and Spiritual Treasure sect in the depths of the desert. If he headed in that same direction, it was very likely that he would encounter the Ghost sect and Blood sect disciples.
After forcibly using the rage punch, he was still in a poor condition. His spiritual sea was empty, and he feared that if he were to run into people from the Ghost sect and Blood sect, he would easily be slaughtered.
Furthermore, Yu Tong would also go all out in pursuing him once her condition stabilized and she recovered the ability to move.
He would definitely not choose the path of certain death.
Relying on the scant amount of dried meat that he had obtained from Yu Tong, Nie Tian gradually recovered his physical strength, but he didn’t dare to stop and rest, and kept marching on.
After an unknown period of time, he saw numerous glaciers in the distance, and knew that he would be leaving the desert soon.
“I’m almost there,” he thought to himself. “I’ll recover my power with the spirit stones when I enter the glacier area!”
Two hours later…
He finally dragged his depleted body out of the desert and into the bitterly cold glacier area.
As soon as he arrived at the bottom of the first glacier, he found a secluded valley and covered himself with a pile of snow, before starting to recover his strength with spirit stones.
Without the spirit stones, and only relying on the faint spiritual Qi in the Green Illusion dimension, it would probably take Nie Tian quite a few days to fully recover the spiritual power that he had consumed.
But spirit stones, even the low grade variety, carried pure and refined spiritual power.
Therefore, with their help, the process of recuperation could be sped up by a great extent!
Strands of pure and refined spiritual power were channeled from the spirit spirit stones into his spiritual sea. That pleasant feeling almost made Nie Tian cheer out loud.
“No wonder those guys all had spirit stones with them when they entered the Green Illusion dimension. Cultivating with the spirit stones’ help truly is so much smoother and more relaxing!”
Before long, one spirit stone was drained of its spiritual power, and cracked as it was reduced to an ordinary stone.
He immediately took out another.
In only an hour, he drained seven spirit stones, and his formerly dried up spiritual sea once again brimmed with spiritual power.
As soon as he completely recovered, he regained his confidence, knowing that he would no longer fall prey to anyone.
However, he didn’t dare to return to where he had come from, mainly because he didn’t wish to face Yu Tong again.
After a few minor adjustments, he crawled out of the pile of snow, and marched on forward.
He only wished to return to the gate of the Green Illusion dimension, and wait for other survivors there.
With the Frost Python gone, the glacier area was no longer dangerous. The scattered first grade spirit beasts had been killed by the disciples from the Spiritual Treasure sect and Grayvale sect.
